Two à la carte rituals, without hurry.
Available on request from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., 25 CHF per day per room, two hours maximum. A short ritual after the walk.
Relaxing, sports, neuromuscular or Thai «Nuad Boran» massages, by a certified practitioner. By appointment.
From the house, marked paths lead to the Chasseron, the fairies' cave, the Vallée de la Brévine — Switzerland's Siberia — and its Lac des Taillières. Route advice available.

Warm ritual
Our sauna is a wooden barrel set outside the house. A round cabin, dry steam, two benches seating two to three people — the opposite of a hotel spa.
Four approaches
Massages are provided by a certified therapist. Each type meets a distinct need — relaxation, recovery, targeted pain or an Eastern tradition.

60 or 90 min
Gentle pressure, long effleurage strokes. To unwind after a day of walking.
60 min
Deep kneading on the muscles you have used. Ideal for hikers and cyclists.
60 min
Focused work on tension points and chronic knots. A precise therapeutic approach.
90 min
Assisted stretches and acupressure on a floor mat, in loose clothing. A thousand-year-old tradition.
